Repurposed Headboard

Snatched this great little head and foot board from a friend. Fell in love with how chunky and curvy it was and the great little details. I've been wanting to turn a headboard into a bench, so I bartered for the services of my handyman and transformed this cute little duo.

Before

Kept the headboard as is and cut the footboard in half

Built the seat and braced the front with an extra board. Had two extra spindles from the footboard, so I used them on the bottom front.

About Me

I love working with my hands--gardening, painting, scrapbooking, wood working....creating. A very wise man said creating is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul--LOVE that!! There is just something about transforming old into new, and I'm happiest when I am doing just that. I love when someone in my family says, "What are you doing now?!"
